re: Hotel Rewards Programs

Go Hilton Honors but tell them you already at the highest tier in Marriott Rewards or vice versa. They’ll give you temporary Diamond status and you just have to stay enough times to keep it.

Stays are worth more than nights. If you’re going to stay for three nights somewhere and you’re willing to change hotels once or twice during that trip you’ll earn more points than if you stay at the same place for 3 nights.

Two stays accrues the same amount points as seven nights.
